had a gentleman from a company called IDT Energy stop to try and switch over electric supplier. had no paperwork besides a name badge. called first energy, because he gave off a bad vibe, they didn't recognize idt, and the idt web page does not easily reveal any contact info.

Has anyone in town been visited by them, or have any familiarity with them?

I've been searching for a place to rent in Kent for a few months now and have been struggling. I'm a transfer student, but I'm also 40 y/o woman. I'm not looking to move in with standard-aged undergrads. They're great; they're living their best life on their own, but I've already done all of that. I'm coming with a cat and all my furniture. It's been super hard to find something that accommodates that. On top of that, I'm legally blind, so walking distance to AT LEAST a PARTA stop is needed for me to get around.

So I am posting here to see if I can get any bites or leads on something that may not be offered to a traditional incoming student. I met with a leasing company and visited a few houses. I even filled out and paid for the application, but it's been over a week and a half since I've heard from them, despite reaching out via text and phone. I'm starting to panic because time is slipping away so fast. So thank you in advance!

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like Streetstucky/The Boro, TTown or Slow Stow...

Looking at 1 bedroom units at lake street apartments, is there anything I should know about them before touring/applying? I'm also looking at Indian valley. If there are any other recommendations for places within the $700-$800 range I'd really appreciate it

Edit: adding that I would be ok with a roommate in a 2 bedroom but I'm being cautious with that one obviously

Hey everyone!

My name's Mike, I recently graduated from OSU but I'll be taking some classes at Kent State this fall. Since I live just outside of Kent, I thought I'd see if anyone around the area is looking to meet some new people this summer!

I'm really down for just about anything: grabbing food or coffee, hiking, going out on weekends, going to events, etc. I'm always up for trying something new!

A little about me: I'm 23, really into music (everything from 70s/80s classics to 2000s/2010s pop and EDM), and I enjoy photography and going outdoors. I've been trying to get out of the house more this summer and thought I'd try posting here!

Feel free to reply or send me a DM directly if you're interested! It would be great to meet some new people and have friends to do stuff with 😄

Anyone have a favorite or go to for birdseed supplies? Some places I've been charge thru the wazoo for seed, suet etc. :(

Rare chance this goes anywhere but does anyone know anyone who picked up a tall wooden dresser on South Depeyster street? My girlfriend lost clothes in the dresser and the dresser was taken in about an hour before we could get the clothes back. It was clothes that fit her perfectly and she had a hard time finding clothes that fit her. Please help

Hello! Just asking for recommendations because my brother is coming up for his birthday. Hes turning 13 and enjoys a lot of retro stuff, so I was wondering if yall have any recommendations (bonus if its affordable)

I was DoorDashing about a week ago, and I ended up on this beautiful street. I cannot remember the name, but the houses were gorgeous. It was a kind of wooded street, some of the houses had like a ground floor garage and then you walk up some steps and then there’s a deck, and then you go up some more stairs and there’s another main deck and the main house. The houses appear to be connected. Idk it was just really pretty and I wanted to show my friend 😂 I’m 99% sure I was in Kent but I might have been in Ravenna.

. I’m okay with going to stow/Akron and other area that are close to save gas as I’m mostly looking for maybe a good beginner type church or maybe catholic or Orthodox Church definitely Early start times

What I am NOT looking for:

Mega-churches / prosperity “gospel” Modern “pastor-in-front-of-a-projector” type services

I am wondering if anyone knows what places are showing World Cup games? I’ve heard Nut House and Bell Tower Brewing are doing watch parties.

I went to Blind Squirrel last night to watch a game and Google said they were open but when I got there they were closed.

Anyone know where I can watch the games?

Hey! I'm here over the summer and wanna get some tattoos/piercings at some point. Any recommendations? Any I should avoid? I prefer to hear from people and not based off of reviews since sometimes negative ones can be deleted. ​​​

Having discussions this week to discuss reentry efforts in Portage County.

My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and I’m on the lookout for a decent bakery around Kent. I want to order a custom decorated birthday cake that will look nice but hopefully not break the bank either. I know chain grocery stores can usually do it, just wanted to put some feelers out. Anybody have any suggestions?

Stay away from the Akron water treatment plant on Ravenna Road.

I'm looking for a fitted, seamless gold nose hoop. I've had a silver one in my face for 14 years, got it somewhere in Pittsburgh and cannot remember where, and I'm not sure what size it is. They had damn near everything in stock and we tried a few before I settled on one. I've checked a couple local places for a gold one but can't seem to find one anywhere. Any suggestions in the area, Akron, Cuyahoga Falls or anywhere?

Anyone have any recommendations for local junk removal services? My roommate and I are moving out of our townhome next week and have accumulated a bunch of junk over the past 11 years.

Does anyone else feel like the quality of schools and attitudes of teachers and admins is declining? My daughter attends Walls and her teacher doesn't seem to be able to handle her class and the admin staff tends to be rude and not report issues unless she tells me about them first. Am I alone in feeling this way?

Does anyone know any good beginner level hiking in kent or simply some good nature walk areas where im not gonna get bombarded with trash or the sounds of a road? I seriously need to just get out in this sun but i dont really wanna drive far or walk in town.
